Natasha Lyonne, Pamela Adlon, Fran Lebowitz are the same kind of woman. They are all Jewish, with big smokey voices, they don't care about body and skin, and their appearance is aging faster than other people in the circle. Their boldness is nourished by half madness, half childishness. They are dazzling, witty, like a fireball. If there is such a person around you, you cannot get too close, and you are reluctant to leave too far.
A chaotic burning planet, so they make similar decisions at some point in their lives. In the latest season of "Better Things," Adlon's Sam Fox finds someone to trace the family tree and learn of a Jewish family that survived the Holocaust. After coming out of the office, she sighed and re-looked at herself alive and well in Hollywood. At that moment, she saw the shadows of many people in an individual, and luck and misfortune gave her life.
Natasha Lyonne made the same decision as Sam Fox in the second season of "Russian Doll," which she wrote and starred in. When Line 6 in New York transports her back to the 1980s, Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) discovers a surprising fact in the mirror. Not only does she travel through time and space, but she also escapes into the body of her young mother, Nora (Chloe Sevigny). She discovers that her grandmother Vera (Iron Bodan) has been brooding about the stolen gold coins, which she seems to be able to recover.
Nadia had an unhappy childhood. Mother Nora suffered from schizophrenia and died prematurely. Grandma's hyper-control and insecurities, intertwined with the pride of Holocaust survivors and the resentment of the demise of a wealthy intellectual family in Budapest, were the dark web that shrouded her childhood.
Vera's panic about being deprived, Nora's reckless behavior today has no tomorrow, and finally became part of Nadia.
Every time the reincarnation opens, there will be fewer people in the lively party room. She's been too busy breaking the game without noticing. It wasn't until the last room where only her friend Maxim (Greta Lee) was left, Nadia discovered that the collapse of time and space devoured her friends again and again. They were originally estranged from themselves, and although the conversation was lively and everyone gathered together, Nadia was still very alone. She was busy avoiding her own death, and the house was a backdrop for her. Whether these people exist or not, she just wants to re-level the timeline and let it flow slowly.
Season 2's story is still about destiny, but this time it's Nadia voluntarily blending into the timeline and playing an adventure game of getting the gold back. At first, it was to return the gold coins that her mother stole to her grandmother, and then she wanted to transport the gold coins to this day and exchange them for money to treat Lu Xi (Anne Murphy/Elizabeth Ashley). After trying it again and again, I know that the fact that has happened will not change. No matter how Nadia did the math, the wealth of the Vera family that was robbed by the Nazis would be exchanged for gold coins. The gold coins were destined to be stolen by Nora and her boyfriend and turned into luxury cars and mink coats. Only the last one was left to hang on Nadia's neck.
Nadia has a madness, and only such a determined mad woman is qualified to challenge the past. A gothic silk shirt wrapped in a copper double-breasted black coat; black leggings, mid-heeled boots, and a thick fiery red curl. Her eyes are so big, with blue-black eye circles, her upper lip is extremely thin, and a brush of lipstick smoothes the lip peaks. When entering the bodies of her mother and grandmother, Nadia felt like no one was there. She believed that there was no danger in someone else's body, because it was clear that her grandmother did not die in a Nazi warehouse, and her mother did not die in a mental hospital or in childbirth.
Another time traveler, Ellen (Charlie Barnett), has a storyline that doesn't intersect with hers, even though they are friends and share the experience of being trapped at their 36th birthday party. Nadia is alone this time. Her time travel stories cannot be shared with others. If an ordinary person suddenly finds that he has crossed over, he is always eager to tell others about his strange situation. Nadia didn't have this instinctive reaction at all. As a matter of course, she quickly entered the scene, using her mother/grandmother's body as a gold coin hunter.
There is one detail, when she calls out the wrong title (such as calling grandma "grandma" in her mother's body), no one ever shows a puzzled expression. People turn a deaf ear to the false name, which raises the possibility that Nadia didn't actually enter the ancestors' bodies at all. She just slipped back in ghost form to observe the trajectories of her ancestors' lives. Because they are too involved and intoxicated, they mistakenly think that they have entered their bodies, and even have a collision of consciousness at certain moments. In the mental hospital, Nadia confronts doctors in the body of her mother, Nora. The real Nora hides behind the doctor's back to talk to her, but the doctor can't see Nora, giving her typical symptoms of schizophrenia.
This was the only time Nadia showed a look of despair. Immediately they decided to run away, and the frantic journey continued after a brief pause.
Natasha Lyonne's strong sense of self makes the show so infectious. Although the character she plays has been doing things driven by passion and does not use her brain very much, but because of this, she has the pleasure of swimming in her dreams. The people at the party in the first season who didn't realize they were disappearing, the hospital in the second season and the people who proliferated at the party, were all like supporting characters in a dream.
There are only two states in a dream, one is that you are far away from everyone around you, and the other is that you have a deep feeling with a certain person, so deep that you think you can bring this feeling to waking.
Nadia's dream contained both emotions. There are many people around her, and she has no desire to communicate with them. But she is very attached to Rousey, who raised her instead of her mother. In the end, it was her feelings for Lu Xi that made her give up her decision to give birth to herself, to raise herself, and to return the baby-like self in her arms to her original time and space.
People have a strong infatuation with themselves in their dreams. Obsessed with herself, Natasha Lyon, the screenwriter, smashed Ellen's story line, making it anticlimactic, and compared with her own story like a poor punctuation mark. Maxim, who had taken a risk with her, was too contrived. In addition to the actor's blunt acting skills, the character is like an AI packed with elements, only for her friendship with Leon. Because it is AI and lacks humanity, can Maxim be the last person left in the party last season?
The timeline that happened is an opponent that the mighty Nadia cannot defeat. The misfortune of the Jewish people cannot be changed. No matter what, Vera will lose her family, wealth and this batch of gold, she will lose her daughter, and the whole family will only leave Nadia, a crazy and lonely New Yorker. Nadia has no children, and it looks like she will not give birth, so the family blood that Vera desperately wants to keep is about to be cut off, whether her painstaking life will be counted in vain.
It is this feeling of story ending that makes Nadia's story always worrying.

Nadia in season two, breaking the cycle of her 36th birthday party in season one, is approaching her 40th birthday. She was still alone, with the big yellow-and-white male cat "Oatmeal" living in that small apartment. She had nothing to worry about, and without thinking about it, decided to use the convenience of traveling between the two worlds to help Vera recover the gold coins and make up for the resentment her grandmother and mother had for it.Nadia had an unhappy childhood.

The first season of Reincarnation Party was a fateful story. Nadia is caught between her birthday party and her own brutal death. Death keeps repeating itself, and after she dies, she pushes open the door of the party toilet again, and faces death in a different way. There are many films of this theme, and Natasha Leon's story is uniquely lonely.Every time the reincarnation opens, there will be fewer people in the lively party room.

When Nadia acted like an addict, she never stopped to think about time, and the horror of the butterfly effect. She is like a loner monk, cursing God in her mouth, living with God in her heart, understanding God's will and the deep meaning of fate in silence.Another time traveler, Ellen (Charlie Barnett), has a storyline that doesn't intersect with hers, even though they are friends and share the experience of being trapped at their 36th birthday party.

The well-written character is only herself, which is Natasha Lyonne's weapon and her weakness. Her ego is so strong that she is unwilling to explain the cause and logic of the chaos of time, just like someone who is already impatient, if a time machine suddenly appears in front of her, she will jump into it without hesitation.The timeline that happened is an opponent that the mighty Nadia cannot defeat. The misfortune of the Jewish people cannot be changed.
